Victory tale about butler (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

valet

'butler' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'victory tale about' is the wordplay.
'victory' becomes 'v'.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'tale' is an anagram of 'alet'.
'v'+'alet'='VALET'

(Other definitions for valet that I've seen before include "Gentleman's assistant" , "dresser" , "Gentleman%u2019s gentleman" , "Man's personal attendant" , "Gentleman's attendant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
